Transparency, fairness under President Trump Along the presidential campaign trail, when Donald Trump spoke of the reasons not to trust Hillary Clinton, many times it came back to emails, her private server, Benghazi or classified documents.

He continuously cited details reported by journalists.

I get it – there was plenty of venom spewed at him from journalists, too.

But he depended on them in his campaign. They sought out the information that led to many of his conclusions.

When it came time for him to meet with President Barack Obama as President-elect Trump this week, however, his team blocked the traditional media pool from traveling with him.

It’s not surprising that Trump or any candidate would attempt to block out the media. That happens often across the spectrum of what we cover.

The key is that the public should find issue with that and demand better.

Oftentimes, it does not.

The same happens with NFL teams and college athletic programs all the time, although with seemingly less at stake.

Many limit access, keep practices and players away from the media, and try to do as much business as possible behind closed doors. Then they send out news

VIEWS Jon Styf releases or post news themselves on their website, attempting to control the flow and content of the reporting.

The same can happen with local government, when open meetings law is not followed.

It’s an issue it seems the public doesn’t seem to care about. But it’s an issue that could certainly hurt them as public figures such as Clinton, with her private email server, attempt to do public business behind closed doors without any way of monitoring them.

There’s a reason the system is set up to prevent that. You need independent eyes and ears watching what you can’t see.

The problem with that is trust. Many don’t trust the media. It’s likely fewer do after this election.

It’s our job to prove that mistrust is misplaced. And it’s one of my top goals each day in this job. We want to report the local news, correctly and fairly. I get plenty of calls or emails from people who don’t feel like we do that.

I attempt to hear all of them, analyze

what we have done to make the reader feel that way and address any issue that needs to be addressed moving forward.

One thing I have heard plenty of is that we have been biased toward either presidential candidate. It’s my goal to never do that. But sometimes, on our Nation, State or Opinion pages, I see how people can feel that way.

One story or one day’s paper can sometimes make people feel that way.

Going forward, I will do my best to avoid that.

Trump is about to embark on what could be an incredibly influential presidency. Despite losing the state of Illinois, he clearly has a lot of support locally.

In Grundy County, Trump won with 13,417 votes to Clinton’s 8,021. In Will County, Clinton beat Trump, 146,230 to 129,726.

The public is clearly fed up with the status quo.

And while our focus is certainly local over national, we’ll do our best to bring you stories that give a fair take on the work he has done.

His transparency, however, will be key to making that happen.

District 86 parents given tools to help children outside of school

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Parents such as Bridgette Sinegar are getting extra help from Joliet Public Schools District 86 to be more involved in their children’s learning.

Sinegar, who has two children who attend A.O. Marshall Elementary School, was one of dozens of parents who attended the Parents as Tutors pilot program earlier this fall.

The program, which focused on parents of kindergarten and firstgrade students, along with a Parent University program in late October, is part of how District 86 officials are reaching out to parents and getting them involved in the education process. “[Parents as Tutors] was very helpful, especially for parents who did not know how to help their children.

It helped me to understand why they came up with the pilot program and at the grade level they started with it,” Sinegar said.

District officials said increased parent involvement in schools is part of the district’s strategic plan. Parent engagement was an action statement under the goals of the plan, said Tanisha Cannon, assistant superintendent for student services.

“Our goal is always to increase involvement and to increase awareness with our parents. They are an integral part in terms of educating their child.

It’s just another effort to increase [that],” Cannon said.

Cannon said during Parents as Tutors, parents are given curriculum books that include activities focusing on enhancing children’s literacy skills. She said the district wants to build on foundational skills such as literacy for students in kindergarten and first grade because it’s a critical time for them.

Superintendent Theresa Rouse mentioned the parent involvement programs at a chat session in September at the Forest Park Community Center, saying she hoped the Parents as Tutors program would become districtwide in the future. It was piloted at Marshall and Edna Keith Elementary School.

Rouse and other district officials held the first-ever Parent University on Oct. 22. The event included workshops that addressed academics, col-

Parent University had a keynote speech from Clay Roberts, a consultant and speaker who worked with Rouse when she was previously superintendent at King City Union School District in California.

“My hope is this is the first of many,” Rouse told a crowd of parents at the event.

Roberts introduced parents and educators to the list of 40 developmental assets identified by the Search Institute as the “building blocks of a healthy development” for children that include items such as family support, caring school climate, positive peer influence and more.

“Those of you who are parents in this room – you are the most important person in the lives of your children. Not the school system, not the church. … And they all have a role

Sinegar helps her son, Noah Johnson, 5, with his homework. “My goal is I’ll do whatever I can – I’ll communicate with the teacher – I’ll do whatever I can to help my child become better than me,” she said.

A Veterans Day ceremony takes place Friday in front of the Will County Courthouse in Joliet.

Vets gather at Will County Courthouse for ceremony

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Larry Peet had the day off Friday because the Will County Courthouse was closed.

“But here I am,” the bailiff said, as he was joined by more than 100 other veterans and their families for a Veterans Day ceremony at the courthouse in Joliet.

Peet received the Bronze Star during his service in Vietnam but no respect when he returned to the states, he said.

“These [ceremonies] are important because of the kind of treatment I got when I got home. Most of my good buddies were killed [before they got home] ,and I was spat on three times,” Peet recalled.

In front of the statue, “erected and dedicated to the memory of the soldiers and sailors of Will County,” according to a description carved into the memorial, the Joliet American Legion Band performed patriotic songs, while local

“Appropriately, it’s the bridge between Election Day and Thanksgiving. The election brought out a lot of passionate feelings and if not for 240 years of veterans, there would be no right to vote, no right to protest ... we have to be thankful for our veterans.”

Steve Brandy

Emcee and WJOL-AM news director

members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion stood with flags and rifles.

Members of the Joliet Fire Department honor guard presented an American flag to be saluted as those assembled sang the national anthem and recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

Veterans Day began as Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I. Emcee and WJOL-AM news director Steve Brandy recalled how the holiday has included two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. and a few years in the 1970s when the observance was moved

to the last Monday of October.

“Appropriately, it’s the bridge between Election Day and Thanksgiving,” Brandy said. “The election brought out a lot of passionate feelings and if not for 240 years of veterans, there would be no right to vote, no right to protest ... we have to be thankful for our veterans.”

Many of the veterans in attendance wore hats and jackets identifying their affiliations and awards, which Peet said most do every day.

“I had a kid come up and ask, ‘How many guys do you have to kill to get a Bronze Star?’ ” Peet said. “He probably

just plays computer games, but it isn’t how many guys you kill, it’s how many you save.”

Peet received his star for firing at Viet Cong during an ambush, picking up another rifle when his first one was destroyed, then helping the wounded when that one jammed. Yet it isn’t his own write-up he keeps copies of in every jacket – it’s one for his friend, Bob Carr, who was killed in the battle and posthumously received the Silver Star.

“Nobody can challenge me on [the bravery of] what he did,” Peet said.

Cathy Berkos attended Friday’s ceremony in memory of her husband, Terence Berkos, an Army veteran who also served in Vietnam and died earlier this year.

“He couldn’t wear his uniform when he came home either. We need to keep honoring them,” she said.

Berkos and Peet agreed the appreciation for veterans has gotten better in recent years.

“The attitude of the people has changed and it’s appreciated,” Peet said.

“Fortunately, we were able to spend down some of the shortfalls with our operating capital, but that doesn’t last forever. It’s never good to have to do that, but it was good that we did have some as a cushion.”

Doug Pryor

Grundy County administrator

Grundy County Board OKs budgets for 2016, ’17

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Behind a vote of 12-3, the Grundy County Board at its meeting Monday passed its amended budget for 2016 as well as its proposed budget for 2017.

The county had taken significant hits to its general funds from cuts in state funding, but County Administrator Doug Pryor said the board and county department heads were able to find compromises.

“Fortunately, we were able to spend down some of the shortfalls with our operating capital, but that doesn’t last forever,” he said. “It’s never good to have to do that, but it was good that we did have some as a cushion. As we go

forward, we have to be able to continue to find ways to produce a budget that everyone’s happy with.”

The initial 2016 budget showed a deficit of about $34.34 million, while the amended budget came to a total deficit of about $21.46 million, an improvement of about $12.88 million. The 2017 budget is estimated to have revenues of about $32.84 million, expenditures of about $35.46 million and a deficit of about $18.85 million.

The board also approved ordinances that will make possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana a civil offense rather than a criminal one. The violator will be given a written notice in the same manner as a traffic violation and be

“This keeps getting dumped on us despite the fact that we’ve been good partners.”

Bob O’Dekirk Joliet mayor

He did not get that vote Thursday, but there is still time.

The meeting was only the first budget workshop session. The council will discuss the budget again as part of its regular workshop meeting at 5:30 p.m.

Monday.

O’Dekirk at times expressed frustration Thursday with the Rialto supporters.

“This keeps getting dumped on us despite the fact that we’ve been good partners,” O’Dekirk said.

He cited a city staff analysis showing the city has provided the theater with $9.1 million since 2005. O’Dekirk estimated the city has provided at least $17 million over the past 30 years.

“It’s been quite a bit of money over the years, and we have been good partners,” Councilwoman Jan Quillman said. “I agree with you, mayor, that we are up against the wall.”

No one on the council made a strong argument Thursday for funding the theater, although Councilman Pat Mudron, the council’s liaison to the Rialto, expressed some support.

Mudron said the Rialto has made changes in its operations sought by the city and noted the business that the theater generates for downtown restaurants.

Councilman Michael Turk suggested that the city could look at its hotel/ motel tax, which once was used to help fund the Rialto, to fund the theater again “so we don’t go through this every year.”

According to a business plan prepared by VenuWorks, the management company that has been at the Rialto since Sept. 1, a $500,000 grant from the city would amount to nearly a quarter of the theater’s $2.2 million in budgeted revenue.

Joliet council begins to examine 2017 budget

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet’s proposed $281 million budget for 2017 got a relatively quick review this week after a lengthy debate over whether to spend $500,000 for the Rialto Square Theatre.

The City Council plans to discuss the budget again at its Monday workshop meeting, which starts at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall.

City Manager Jim Hock gave a presentation at the first budget meeting Thursday after the Rialto debate,

which lasted an hour and a half.

Money for the Rialto is not in the budget now, but lots of other things are.

Hock noted a potential $7 million deficit and 3.5 percent increase in garbage fees in his presentation.

The total property tax levy for the city would increase 1 percent, and the separate property tax levy for the Joliet Public Library would go up 2 percent.

The budget includes money for 25 new squad cars but not for additional police. It also funds the purchase of an additional truck for snowplowing.

Hock told the council that the city will use up $7 million in reserves to balance the budget.

However, the city in recent years has typically budgeted for multimillion-dollar deficits and ended the year with multimillion-dollar surpluses instead.

If there is a deficit next year, it will be the first since 2012.

The city would end 2017 with more than $31 million in reserves in its general fund if the projected deficit proves true.

The budget shows the city expecting to end 2016 with a $3.8 million surplus.

Hock told the council that the 2017 increase in garbage fees will total $333,450.

A 1 percent increase in the city property tax levy will amount to $333,000 in additional revenue. The proposed property tax levy increase for the library would generate an additional $118,000.

The library is run by a separate board, but its budget, which is compiled separately from the city budget, needs to be approved by the City Council. Property tax revenue makes

JOLIET – The City Council did not close the door on funding for the Rialto Square Theatre last week, despite a tense public debate.

The city grant would be less than the $600,000 in annual support the city has provided for years.

But resistance to Rialto funding, which in past years has been the cause of Councilman Larry Hug alone, was taken up Thursday by Mayor Bob O’Dekirk.

O’Dekirk and Rialto board Chairman Dan Vera at times argued over just what was said in a private meeting in June in which the mayor accused Vera of saying he “didn’t care” whether the city provided further funding. Vera said he was simply indicating he understood that the city might take that position.

The Thursday budget meeting drew out a number of Rialto supporters calling on the city to provide the $500,000 that would cover a projected

deficit in 2017.

One who didn’t was Mary Beth Gannon, the only Rialto board member appointed by O’Dekirk. She urged the council not give $500,000 and to instead provide funding on an “as needed” basis.

“That will allow you to track where the money is going,” Gannon said.

But several speakers calling for Rialto funding were applauded by the dozens of people who showed up for a budget workshop meeting that typically attracts little interest.

Michael Murray, the newest member of the Rialto board, was one of a few speakers who pointed to a “partnership” the city has with the Rialto.

“This is not the time to throw in the towel,” Murray said. “This is the time to show courage and stand together.”

James Roolf, a Joliet banker who is part of a committee consisting of local businesspeople looking to support the theater, called on the council to give the Rialto “a vote of confidence” in the form of budgeting the $500,000 for the theater.

to play, don’t get me wrong,” Roberts said.

He said there are families that are economically poor but “asset-rich,” and vice versa. He said children don’t need more things but more positive adult presences in their lives.

“Notice you can’t buy what’s on this list. It’s not for sale. Positive values are not for sale at Target, right?

So don’t confuse developmental assets and economic assets,” Roberts said.

The best way to build the assets in the list is for parents and peers to model, or lead by example, he said. If parents want their children to be respectful and hard working, they should be a model for it, he said.

“If you want them to be good readers, read to them. In English or in Spanish, it doesn’t matter. Read.

Modeling is the most powerful way of teaching,” Roberts said.

But taking part in the Parents as Tutors program helped to give her a better perspective on why district officials and staff are trying to help parents educate their children while also helping her to be more like a teacher at home.

“A lot of people send their kids to school and when they come home, some of the parents are not as equipped to help them out with their studies or be able to help them out of certain situations they get stumped on or encourage them to continue to study,” Sinegar said.

Park board could appoint Marcum replacement before election

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The late Glen Marcum’s position on the Joliet Park District board will be on the April ballot.

The park board also may decide to appoint someone to fill Marcum’s spot until the election.

Marcum, who died Nov. 1, was park board president. His term was not up until 2019.

But because the board seat has been vacated more than 28 months before the term ends, state law requires that it be on the ballot for the next election, said Tom Carstens, executive director for the park district.

The next park board election is April 4.

“You can appoint, but you can only appoint until the next election,” Carstens said.

The park board is likely to decide at its next meeting Nov. 21 whether to appoint someone to fill the vacancy, board President Sue Gulas said.

Gulas had been vice president and became board president because of Marcum’s death.

An appointment could take several weeks if the board decides to do that, Gulas said.

The board would first advertise for letters of interest from those who want the position. It would then review the letters and decide whether to do interviews before making an appointment, Gulas said.

“It’s not something that’s going to happen very quickly,” she said.

Adding Marcum’s spot to the ballot means that all but one of the five board positions will be up for election April 4.

The board operates with staggered four-year terms. Marcum and Commissioner Joe Mutz were last elected in 2015. Whoever is elected to the seat held by Marcum would be up for election again in 2019.

The other commissioners whose positions are on the ballot in April are Gulas, Art Schultz Jr. and Tim Broderick.

Marcum was first elected to the park board in 2011 and had been president since 2013. He died from complications of bile duct cancer at the age of 56.

JOLIET – Union School District 81 officials have said they plan to reimburse residents, a decision the district is attributing to its sound financial practices.

Because of unexpected grant funding and spending that has come in under budget, Superintendent Tim Baldermann, who also is the mayor of New Lenox, said 400 homeowners will be eligible for an average refund of $150 per home in District 81.

Residents should receive their checks in the mail no later than Dec. 9, according to a district news release.

Baldermann said district officials had the option of keeping the additional money, but because the district is in such good shape and property taxes are an issue to residents, they decided to issue the reimbursement.

“Although the district could keep the funds, we believe it should be re-

turned to the taxpayers,” he stated in a news release.

Since 2012, when Baldermann became superintendent, District 81 has gone from having the worst financial rating in Illinois to the best.

“We’re just excited about everything that’s happening. The kids are doing well and the finances of the school district are in great shape,” he said.

In 2014, district officials received an Award of Merit from the Illinois State Board of Education. The district was nominated for improving school finances, extending the school year and providing additional resources.

Baldermann in 2014 said the district was able to make changes to the cafeteria and transportation personnel, as well as manage finances well enough to get a $300,000 surplus in its overall budget.

But drill a little deeper and it’s clear the political map changed, with more counties flipping from Democrat to Republican just as they did in states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, helping Donald Trump become president.

While Trump won a smaller percentage of the state’s overall vote than Mitt Romney did in 2012 due to dismal support in Chicago and its suburbs, he won a dozen more counties than Romney. Those included large portions of northwest Illinois and one southern county that hadn’t backed the GOP presidential candidate since Richard Nixon’s landslide 1972 victory over George McGovern.

On Trump’s coattails, Gov. Bruce Rauner and the GOP eroded a Democratic supermajority in the Illinois House.

But with Clinton atop the ticket, fellow Democratic women won statewide offices for U.S. Senate and comptroller.

Here’s a look at Tuesday’s results:

Trump country

Illinois has long been divided, with Chicago, its suburbs and some downstate cities voting Democratic and the rest of the state solidly Republican.

That split widened this election year.

Trump won 91 of Illinois’ 102 counties, compared with Romney’s 79 in 2012, and

Illinois shuts down center’s breast-imaging operation

BELLEVILLE – Illinois regulators have suspended the breast-imaging operations of a radiology center in Belleville after a review that found major quality problems that constituted a “serious risk” to health.

More than 2,000 patients of Belleville Imaging are receiving letters telling them they need to have their mammograms reviewed, the Belleville News-Democrat reported. Some may need repeat mammograms.

Mammograms are tests that screen for breast cancer. They’re also used to

She liked that Trump stood up to the media and said he’d get rid of the Affordable Care Act. And she’s looking to him to bring back manufacturing jobs, like she believes President Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s.

“The ’80s were a great time to be alive,” Logue said. “That’s where the American dream for all people was attainable. I know it could be done again under Trump.”

check patients who were treated for breast cancer in the past.

Belleville Imaging failed to meet quality standards established by the American College of Radiology as required by Illinois.

The American College of Radiology’s report stated that the facility’s practice posed a “serious risk to human health.”

Reviewers disputed the findings of nine out of 30 examinations, including eight breast tissue abnormalities that failed to result in a follow-up recommendation.

Problems with images included breast positioning, film exposure and contrast and sharpness.

police Superintendent Eddie Johnson was on his way Friday to a news briefing when he and other officers saw a car that had been carjacked in suburban Cicero.

The officers pursued the speeding vehicle. The driver crashed the car and fled on foot and the officers caught up with him and placed him in custody. Two other people inside the car also were arrested.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told the newspaper that police are investigating whether the incident was related to a recent string of thefts of luxury sports cars taken from the suburbs and used in the city to commit shootings and robberies.

CHICAGO – Chicago’s top police officer has helped apprehend three carjacking suspects.

The Chicago Tribune reported that

Blue to red

The counties that flipped from Democrat to Republican include much of the northwestern part of the state and a few counties in southern Illinois, an area that has been affected by closings and layoffs at coal mines and steel plants.

Clinton was haunted on the campaign by remarks she made at a town hall that she was going to put “a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business,” a comment that came in the context of helping blue-collar workers adjust to new jobs and her plan to provide billions of dollars for training. But Clinton territory Clinton dominated in Chicago and the damage stuck.

Trump also outperformed Romney in almost all those places – in some by double digits.

Adrienne Logue is a substitute teacher who lives in rural Vermilion County, east of Champaign. Trump won more than 62 percent of the vote there, thanks to people like her. The married mother of three called choosing Trump over Clinton a “no-brainer.”

“He was against abortion, he is for my gun rights and the thought of Hillary Clinton appointing a Supreme Court justice that would tip the courts in favor of, it would be an anti-gun majority, it made

Four in five women chose Clinton over Trump, according to exit polling conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks.

Susan Gilbert, a retired teacher from Naperville, said Trump’s comments about women were a factor in her supporting Clinton. The wealthy businessman was caught on a video boasting to a TV show host about groping women and was known to rank women based on their looks.

“It feels like we’re going backward,” Gilbert said after Trump’s win, adding that she cried when she watched his victory speech. “We’re going to lose our rights.”

Megabus: Omaha-to-Chicago bus route ending next year

OMAHA, Neb. – Discount bus company Megabus announced it will

make its last trips between Omaha and Chicago early next year.

The Omaha World-Herald reported that the five-year-old Omaha-to-Chicago route will end Jan. 9.

The New Jersey-based company said low gas prices have reduced demand for its services.

The route also has stops in the Iowa cities of Des Moines, Davenport and Iowa City.

Tickets from Omaha to Chicago were priced Friday between $15 and $59 for rides in the next month. Burlington Trailways continues to offer bus service to Chicago from Omaha. Tickets with that line were priced Friday at $75.

Megabus said the route cancellation is part of a wider reorganization of Megabus’ Midwest hub, with job losses in Chicago and cutbacks in some other routes.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Clinton blames FBI director a lesser conviction, a prosecutor for loss of election Tuesday said Saturday after a mistrial was WASHINGTON – Hillary Clinton is blaming the FBI’s decision to revive its examination of her email accounts for her devastating defeat in the presidential election.

On a call Saturday with top campaign donors, Clinton said her campaign was winning until FBI director James Comey sent a letter to Congress on Oct. 28 announcing that the FBI had uncovered emails possibly related to its earlier probe into her use of a private server as secretary of state. The new examination was sparked by an unrelated investigation into former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of one of her top aides.

The surprise announcement by the FBI came after three debates in which Republican Donald Trump was widely panned for his performance. Clinton told the donors that her campaign was leading by large margins in nearly every battleground state and was tied in Arizona, a traditionally Republican stronghold, until Comey released his letter.

declared.

The jury spent some 25 hours debating the outcome and indicated several times that they were deadlocked before a judge agreed.

Prosecutors will decide within the next two weeks whether to retry former University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing. He was fired after shooting 43-yearold Sam DuBose in the head after pulling him over for a missing front license plate on July 19, 2015.

Trump, McConnell, Ryan an unlikely D.C. power trio

By ERICA WERNER

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Washington’s new power trio consists of a bombastic billionaire, a telegenic policy wonk and a taciturn political tactician. How well they can get along will help determine what gets done over the next four years, and whether the new president’s agenda flounders or succeeds.

President-elect Donald Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell make up an unlikely alliance, one defined in advance mostly by Trump’s opposition to the Washington establishment that Ryan and McConnell exemplify.

Trump and Ryan clashed throughout the campaign, with Trump taking offense when Ryan initially refused to endorse him and later distanced himself over the audio of Trump talking about groping women.

“Paul Ryan, a man who doesn’t know how to win (including failed run four years ago), must start focusing on the budget, military, vets etc.,” Trump groused over Twitter last month.

But that was then, this is now, as Ryan, the GOP’s 2012 vice presidential nominee, said Thursday after meeting with Trump at the Capitol.

“The past is in the past,” Ryan said in an interview on Fox News Channel. “This was an unconventional year, he was an unconventional candidate, but the point is we unified, especially at the right point, at the end. And it worked.”

Indeed, thanks partly to Trump’s coattails, Ryan and McConnell limited expected losses

to their majorities and will enter the new administration with control of both chambers of Congress and the White House. For now the glow of victory appears to be soothing past tensions. And Republicans aligned with all three note they have something very important in common: They need each other.

“Ryan needs Trump to accomplish his policy agenda,” said GOP Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, in comments that apply to McConnell as well. “Trump needs Ryan to get things to his desk.”

There are well-known policy disagreements to navigate on issues such as trade, immigration, Medicare and Social Security, where Trump’s proposals and campaign rhetoric often flew in the face of Ryan and McConnell’s standard business-friendly Republican approach.

But Trump’s own unfamiliarity with the tedious business of legislating, and unformed policy positions in some cases, may give Ryan and McConnell a unique opportunity to fill in the details. That would be a welcome role for both – McConnell as a deeply experienced legislator and dealmaker, and Ryan as an eager wonk who chaired the Ways and Means Committee before becoming House speaker.

Ryan is steeped in details on reforming taxes and reshaping entitlement spending – although Trump has been critical of Ryan’s past budget proposals.

“I don’t think there’s any question that President Trump will be looking for legislative expertise,” said Josh Holmes, McConnell’s former chief of staff. “Some of that comes from the staff that he hires, and some of that will come from allies on Capitol Hill.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – A student at the University of Oklahoma was temporarily suspended and police are investigating a threat against a Muslim student near the University of Michigan amid racially charged outbursts at schools and universities across the country after Donald Trump’s presidential election.

The Associated Press and other local media outlets identified several reports of racist incidents at schools since Tuesday, including a group chat that the Oklahoma student got involved with aimed at black freshmen at the University of Pennsylvania, Trump’s alma mater.

The chat contained “violent, racist and thoroughly disgusting images and

messages,” and Penn is “appalled” its students were added to the GroupMe account,” UPenn President Amy Gutmann said. Gutmann said UPenn police have been working with the FBI. She earlier said officials had increased campus safety and were “reaching out to support the affected students.”

University of Oklahoma President David Boren in a statement said the student has been temporarily suspended as the school investigates further.

“It would appear this matter did not originate at the University of Oklahoma, but started elsewhere,” Boren said in a statement.

In Ann Arbor, Michigan, police are looking into a report of a man who threatened to set a Muslim student on fire with a lighter if she didn’t remove her hijab on Friday. The incident ap-

parently happened near the University of Michigan campus, Ann Arbor police Sgt. Patrick Maguire said. He added that the department is “investigating it actively ... and soliciting information from anyone who may have witnessed anything.”

A crime alert issued by the university said the woman took off her hijab and left the area. Witnesses told police the man was white with an “unkempt appearance” and “intoxicated with slurred speech.”

The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called Saturday for the incident to be investigated as a hate crime, saying the “alleged attack is just the latest anti-Muslim incident reported since the election of Donald Trump as president.”

“Our nation’s leaders, and partic-

ularly President-elect Donald Trump, need to speak out forcefully against the wave of anti-Muslim incidents sweeping the country after Tuesday’s election,” said Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

A racial backlash also unfolded after the election of Barack Obama, America’s first black president, in 2008. At the time, police documented alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts were delivered by adults, college students and even children.

Anti-Trump protests have taken place since the election in cities including Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, and New York.

NEW YORK – Thousands took to the streets Saturday across the U.S. as demonstrations against President-elect Donald Trump continued in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and beyond.

Protesters rallied at New York’s Union Square before picking up steam and taking their cause toward Trump Tower. Police set up barricades in front of some of the most expensive stores in Manhattan as the group made its way along Fifth Avenue.

“I just can’t have Donald Trump running this country and teaching our children racism, sexism and bigotry,” said Noemi Abad, 30, a fashion designer, as she marched down the famous road. “Out of his own mouth he made this division. He needs to go – there’s no place for racism in society in America.”

Trump’s comments – particularly a 2005 recording of him making lewd comments about women – sparked outrage during his campaign. That spilled over into a fourth day of demonstrations following an election that ended with half of U.S. voters choosing the other candidate, Hillary Clinton.

In Los Angeles, several thousand people marched through downtown streets Saturday to condemn what they saw as Trump’s hate speech about Muslims, pledge to deport people in the country illegally and crude comments about women.

Jennifer Cruz, 18, of Ventura, California, carried a sign that asked: “Legalize weed but not my Mom?” – a reference to Californians’ Tuesday passage of a measure legalizing recre-

Cruz said her parents have been in the United States illegally for 30 years, although her mother has spent years seeking citizenship. She called the possibility of their deportation terrifying.

“We talk about it almost every day,” she said. “My Mom wants to leave it in the hands of God, but I’m not just going to sit back and not do anything.

I’m going to fight for my parents, even if it kills me.”

“He doesn’t realize all the families he’s hurting,” she said of Trump.

Shawn Smith, 41, of Los Angeles, wore an American flag vest and held a glittery sign that said “Love Trumps Hate.”

“What he’s been able to do is make 50 percent of the nation look over their shoulder,” he said. “If you’re gay, if you’re LGBT, if you’re Muslim, if you’re Latin, if you’re special needs, if you’re female, it’s a much unsafer place now.”

“What is happening today is going to be the normal for a while,” he said of the demonstration, “because we’re not going to just sit back and watch our rights being taken away, our health care being taken away.”

Protests were mainly peaceful, but in Portland, Oregon, a man who was participating in a march was shot after a confrontation with someone in a vehicle. Police expect the man to survive

and detained four people in connection with the shooting. A motive for the shooting was unclear. The four people detained are believed to be gang members, but the victim is not.

The shooting followed rowdy Friday night protests, when police used tear gas in response to “burning projectiles” thrown at officers, police said on Twitter. Hundreds of people marched through the city, disrupting traffic and spray-painting graffiti.

Authorities reported instances of vandalism and assault during a rally that organizers had billed as peaceful earlier in the day.

In other parts of the country, spirited demonstrations on college campuses and peaceful marches along downtown streets have taken place since Wednesday.

Evening marches disrupted traffic in Miami and Atlanta.

Trump supporter Nicolas Quirico was traveling from South Beach to Miami. His car was among hundreds stopped when protesters blocked Interstate 395.

“Trump will be our president. There is no way around that, and the sooner people grasp that, the better off we will be,” he said. “There is a difference between a peaceful protest and standing in a major highway backing up traffic for 5 miles. This is wrong.”

Protests also were held in Detroit; Minneapolis; Kansas City, Missouri; Olympia, Washington, Iowa City and more.

More than 200 people, carrying signs, gathered on the steps of the Washington state Capitol. The group chanted “not my president” and “no Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA.”

Dear Mr. Berko: I’m looking at Swedish mobile phone company Telia, whose shares trade at $7.77. Revenues and earnings are down because of poor earnings in many of the foreign units it’s selling. I’m thinking of buying 2,000 shares because the 36-cent dividend yields 4.9 percent.

My stockbroker believes that the stock will double in the next couple of years, even though it may take that long for management to get its house in order. Please give me your thoughts on this.

I would use $16,000 from a $35,000 certificate of deposit that came due to buy 2,000 shares. I’d have $19,000 in cash left over to invest short term. Is there a five-year CD yielding over 1.8 percent in which I could invest this $19,000? I want to keep it liquid. – WE, Vancouver, Washington Dear WE: Sweden, home to Carl

XVI Gustaf and one of the 10 sovereign monarchies in Europe, also is home to Johan Eric Dennelind, the CEO of Stockholm-based Telia Co. AB (TLSNY-$7.77). Telia, founded in 1853, is a $10.3 billion-revenue telecommunications company that sells mobile, broadband and fixed services – including telephone, data and TV services – to customers in Sweden, Finland,

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Norway, Denmark, Spain, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. TLSNY has been in business longer than AT&T (I didn’t know that the Swedes had telephones in 1853), and its 36-cent dividend yields 4.9 percent, a little less than AT&T’s.

Although TLSNY’s revenues are foundering, its operations are improving. For the first six months of 2016, management posted operating margins of 16.98 percent and net profit margins of 7.89 percent. And considering the wonderfully generous employee perks, including how well its 21,000 workers are compensated, those are very impressive numbers.

However, competitive pressures have wounded TLSNY in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Moldova and Georgia, and management has turned off the switch in those countries. Although those countries have accounted for 21 percent of revenues, management believes that TLSNY’s earnings will improve nicely when they are completely off the books.

Last December, TLSNY sold its Nepalese unit to Ncell for $1 billion, and in June, TLSNY sold Yoigo, its Spanish mobile phone unit, to Masmovil for $610 million. These sales will help streamline the company, reduce costs, improve the cash position to $2.1 billion and increase its book value to $2.

After several years of declining revenues and earnings, management finally found the guts to restructure the company. And that’s good. But the company’s total debt, $11.3 billion, exceeds revenues by $1 billion, and that’s not good.

Morgan Stanley does dislike the stock a bit less now and has raised its rating to a couple of ticks above neutral. And Goldman Sachs, which is doing investment banking for TLSNY, has become mildly bullish. The 4.9 percent dividend does appear temporarily safe, but a little voice is telling me to keep my money in the U.S. Using safe CD money to buy a stock yielding 4.9 percent is crazy. I don’t think Telia’s future risks are manageable.

I believe a blue chip investment that has increased its payout annually for more than 20 years, has a long history of attractive payouts and currently yields 5.3 percent is a better

investment. And a 5.3 percent yield is better than that of any CD I can find east, north or south of Vancouver.

That investment is AT&T (T-$37.03), which I consider a proxy for CDs or corporate bonds.

I can’t predict with any degree of certainty what T’s share price will be in 2021, but I can predict with a high degree of certainty that its $1.92 dividend will be raised five times between now and 2021.

Yes, AT&T’s common stock is riskier than a CD. It changes in value every day, although in five years, it’s likely to be worth more than $37.03. Don’t be concerned if T’s value fluctuates; it’s liquid. You can sell a few shares anytime you wish if you need cash.

The dividend is secure, dependable and like clockwork. It pays four times a year and, by 2021, could be raised to $2.20.

Today’s 5.3 percent yield for AT&T is a no-brainer CD substitute, and some observers are beginning to say that the potential merger with Time Warner could be sweet plum.

After election, are shoppers ready to think about holidays?

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO The Associated Press

NEW YORK – The uncertainty surrounding who will be the next U.S. president is over. But with people still bitterly divided, are they ready to think about a holiday shopping season that thrives on feelings of joy and peace?

Reports from retailers, including department stores such as Kohl’s, Macy’s and J.C. Penney, showed that shoppers had been starting to step up their spending in the weeks leading up to the election won by Republican Donald Trump. And the companies are generally optimistic about a good holiday season, pointing to higher wages for workers and leaner inventories.

“A relatively happy employed consumer base is a willing group of consumers,” said Greg Portell, a partner in A.T. Kearney’s consumer products and retail and communications, media and technology group.

Pointing to the political environment is an easy excuse for retailers, analysts said.

Even after the rancor of the campaign, they believe Trump supporters will be in the mood to spend, and those who supported Democrat Hillary Clinton or another candidate may shop as a balm on their emotions.

“It’s retail therapy either way,” said Marshal Co-

Shoppers visit a J.C. Penney store in February 2015 in New York. Reports from retailers, including department stores such as Kohl’s, Macy’s and J.C. Penney, showed that shoppers had started to step up their spending in the months leading up to the election won by Republican Donald Trump. hen, chief industry analyst at NPD Group, a market research firm.

What the department stores were seeing before the election was a bit of a mixed bag. Macy’s and Kohl’s raised their sales outlooks this week as they saw improvement, even as they posted another quar-

ter of smaller declines. Nordstrom reported an increase in the key sales measure and raised its earnings outlook.

But Penney cut its annual outlook for a key sales measure after reporting a surprise sales drop as it wrestled with weak clothing sales. Macy’s had specifically cited strength in apparel across the men’s, women’s and children’s departments. Like some other retailers, Penney’s business has been volatile, bouncing back in the summer after a tough start to the year.

In general, a dip in buying is normal before a presidential election, as people are distracted and advertising space is taken up by political ads, but spending usually bounces back afterward.

In 2012 and 2004, year-over-year sales growth slowed an average of 22 percent in September and October, from the January through August period, but rebounded an average of 16 percent in November and December, according to consulting group AlixPartners.

Penney’s CEO Marvin Ellison said it was hard to quantify how much the upcoming election affected business in the third quarter but that business accelerated in October, the last month of the period.

But he noted from an economic standpoint, shoppers “are in really good shape,” he added.

“We are hoping that in the post-election, we are just going to see people spend,” he said.

OUR VIEW

Election is past, but Ill. pension crisis remains Like procrastinating teens putting off a big homework assignment, this summer Illinois’ leaders found a way to put off addressing our state’s budget problems until after the election.

The election is behind us now, and a stopgap spending plan that was approved in July will expire less than seven weeks from now.

While the stopgap budget bought legislators some time, it solved nothing. Illinois now has more than $9 billion in unpaid bills.

Lawmakers are set to return to Springfield on Tuesday, and there are cold realities to face: Pension payments are consuming an ever-larger share of state revenues each year, and the system must be changed in a manner consistent with the state constitution. Plans to offer employees a choice in benefits might be the best way to go, although Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats already failed to reach an agreement on this once.

Democrats seem eager to impose another income tax increase on citizens, but there can be no tax increases without reforms, such as those that Rauner pledged to implement at the time of his election – including reforms to workers’ compensation, limits on collective bargaining and term limits for legislators.

These ideas were put forward during the campaign, Rauner was elected by the voters of our state, and yet House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton have flouted the will of the people in refusing to negotiate them.

Madigan justifies this refusal to work with the governor by claiming he is defending the middle class – but our state has not had a budget since July 2015, and everyone, from the wealthiest citizens to the poorest, has been hurt as a result.

Perhaps that’s one reason why Republicans gained seats in the recent elections. New legislators will take office until January. But even with the lame ducks still in office, it seems unlikely that Democrats will be able to push another tax increase on the people of our state without any changes to the way things operate.

State Rep. Lou Lang, a Skokie Democrat, told the Chicago Tribune that the Republicans’ meager gains in this election would do nothing to break the stalemate between Madigan and Rauner, and he speculated it was possible there might be no budget for all four years of Rauner’s term.

We’ve already seen the damage that almost 18 months without a budget has done. It would be unconscionable for legislators and the governor to allow this situation to continue.

This impasse needs to end. Changes must be made, and all options should be on the table.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Community Disability Living Wage Act important for Will County

To the Editor: There is an escalating – and completely avoidable – crisis facing individuals and families with developmental disabilities in Will County, and across the state. The wages available to direct support professionals (DSPs) who work with individuals with disabilities are no longer competitive with other employers, making it harder for agencies such as Cornerstone Services to provide services. This workforce crisis is the result of decade of stagnant funding from the state.

House Bill 5931, The Community Disability Living Wage Act, which passed the General Assembly in the spring, was a good first start to address this crisis by providing a living wage for DSPs. Unfortunately, Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed the bill, recognizing the issue of concern but not offering his own solution to the problem.

In Cornerstone’s 47 years of serving adults and children with disabilities, we’ve faced our share of funding difficulties, but never one this challenging.

HB 5931 will ensure that our frontline staff, who work hard at our residences and day programs to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of the 1,100 individuals we serve, can earn a living wage. The governor’s veto of HB 5931 has made matters worse, but together we can ensure that the General Assembly can fix this problem.

We need your help. I ask you to call on your state representatives and senators to go to Springfield and vote “yes” to override Gov. Rauner’s veto of HB 5931. Together we can ensure those that serve and support individuals with disabilities earn a living wage.

Sincerely, Ben Stortz

President/CEO, Cornerstone Services

Fossil fuel companies concealing facts

To the Editor: It seems as if many people are still on the fence about climate change, or as I was taught in 1969, the greenhouse effect. One major fossil fuel company hasn’t been on the fence since the mid-’70s, when some of their scientists put together a report on how the carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels would heat up the earth.

The company was Exxon, and its response was to hide the report and all letters and reports since. We know this because the attorneys general of New York and California have obtained all that information and Exxon’s and others’ funding of more than 40 foundations and organizations to conceal the facts and dupe as many people as possible. They and other fossil fuel companies have been trying to confuse the gullible and buy support from legislators in Washington and

After backing losers for years, some things can change I have a real penchant for backing losers.

Given a choice of two or more options, I inevitably pick the wrong one.

Pro football games.

March Madness pools.

401k investment options.

Poker hands.

Career choices.

Just about every election since ’78.

And Tuesday’s general election was no exception.

All of my picks, with the exception of the state road referendum and a couple of local races, ended up losing.

I guess I just have the touch.

The presidential race, however, was no real surprise.

Try as I might, I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Trump. Or Clinton, for that matter.

So I knew going in I was backing a loser. Unlike 48 percent of the rest of the country.

Still, seeing Trump pull off one of the biggest upsets in U.S. political history was … interesting.

Especially seeing the know-it-all TV pollsters, analysts and broadcast-

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus ers stammer and stutter as this thing blew up in their faces Tuesday night.

And then seeing a whole slew of elitist Hollywood celebrities wail and gnash their teeth Wednesday morning.

And finally seeing hordes of urban millennials accustomed to instant gratification screaming for Trump’s instant impeachment on Wednesday night.

Interesting.

As in “May you live in interesting times.”

So now a septuagenarian with a supermodel wife and no experience in public office or the military is about to become our commander in chief.

With full control of the Senate. And the House. And the Nuclear Football.

Until 2020.

Whoa.

The bizarre thing is that, as of 11

a.m. Thursday, at least 59,704,866 people were OK with that scenario.

But for another 59,938,290, the Trump victory augurs something very different: Four years of darkness.

Earthquakes, volcanoes … the dead rising from the grave. Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria.

As for the remaining 6,095,128 of the electorate, well, I guess we pretty much don’t know what the hell to think.

But let’s face it: Trump won the Republican nomination because the GOP is out of touch with most of America. Clinton lost her presidential bid because it turns out the Democrats are, too. And when the voters’ only choice is between two bad choices, this happens.

Still, things could be worse.

Because, like it or not, things are finally gonna start to change. Which, after a decade of inertia in Washington, isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Getting anything done after so many years of stagnation just might be a step forward.

Meanwhile, my winless voting

streak continues unabated.

I’ll have to live with it.

Because there are worse things than picking a loser.

Such as being a loser.

Or a sore loser, to be more precise.

So, for now, it’s time to shut up and give Trump a chance. Just like we did for Barack Obama. And, if memory serves me, just like we did for Ronald Reagan back in prehistoric times.

And if you don’t like it, well, there’s always 2020.

Because hope always springs eternal.

Your horse will eventually come in.

I know this for a fact.

I backed a bunch of losers for more than 50 years.

Fifty soul-crushing, miserable, mediocre years.

And then they won the World Series.

One of the reasons is they want to continue selling their products. However, that is not what they fear the most. According to those documents and communications with other fossil fuel companies, it is the possibility of suits such as those that many states and others launched against the tobacco industry. The fines and lawsuits for flooding, disease and destruction of entire ecosystems would pale in comparison to the tobacco settlements.

CLASS 5A QUARTERFINALS: MORRIS 12, METAMORA 7

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com

Morris’ Delaney Stutzki and Metamora’s Alec Meronk contest a long pass Saturday in Morris. The Redskins defeated the Redbirds, 12-7.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard @shawmedia.com

the Redskins with a 12-0 lead.

Neither team scored after that until the fourth quarter as the teams traded punts during the second and third quarters, the one exception being an interception on a long Metamora pass by Dransfeldt.

Metamora opened the fourth quarter on its own 32-yard line and, after a screen pass lost four yards, Redbird running back Ethan Hodel broke free for a 67-yard run before being run down at the Morris 5 by Feeney. Two plays later, Hodel scored from two yards out and Ryan Vogel’s kick pulled Metamora to within 12-7 with 10:12 to play.

“It was a little closer than we would have liked, but it seems like it’s always like that when we play Metamora,” Morris coach Alan Thorson said. “We are very similar teams and programs, so any time we play them, it’s close.

“We don’t care if it’s one point, five

points or 20 points. At this point of the season, it’s just about winning. That [Metamora] is a very good football team.

We didn’t play our best and we hurt ourselves with some penalties, so for us to be able to come out with a win after not playing our best, we’re very fortunate.”

Morris was on the verge of putting the game away on the next drive, reaching the Metamora 9 before Feeney fumbled and Metamora’s Gavin Eaton recovered.

The Redbirds turned it over on downs, however, and Morris took over at the Metamora 27. Two runs by Michael Gerischer put Morris at the 10, but they could advance no farther. Rather than risk a blocked field goal, Morris turned it over on downs at the 11 with 1:20 remaining.

Metamora began a last-ditch effort to drive the length of the field, getting a personal foul penalty called against Morris, then completing a 23-yard pass from Jon Brunton to Garret Dominy to reach

the 49. After an 11-yard pass from Brunton to Brayden Adams got the ball to the Morris 40, Redskin linebacker Merrick Hairapetian sacked Brunton. Two incomplete passes later, Morris defensive tackle Avery Hoffman did the same, and the Redskins were able to celebrate their first semifinal appearance since finishing as Class 5A runner-up in 2012.

“When they completed a couple passes at the end, we said in the huddle that the D-line needed to get a sack,” Sobol said. “Then Merrick got one and so did Avery. Now we’re two wins away from our goal, but we have to take them one at a time and get ready for next week.”

“Our defense carried us, no doubt,” Thorson said. “Coach [defensive coordinator John] Courter did a great job with his game plan and the kids executed.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the kids.

Their effort and fight is the reason why we’re here.”

MORRIS – Most of the attention on a football team is given to the offense. It is, after all, the offense that moves the ball and scores points.

But as the season goes on and the number of teams remaining gets smaller, the defenses start to take center stage.

Such was the case Saturday afternoon in the Class 5A semifinals, as Morris’ defense did the lion’s share of the work in the Redskins’ 12-7 win over Metamora.

“We knew they [Metamora] liked to run between the tackles, and we know we can stop the run pretty well,” Morris linebacker and tri-captain Keagan Sobol said. “So we weren’t really surprised when they came out trying to throw the ball.

“We were able to stop them enough and we’re going to the semifinals, where we feel like we belong.”

Morris provided some offensive spark early before Metamora’s defense clamped down as well.

The Redskins (10-2) received the opening kickoff and Michael Feeney returned it 45 yards to the Metamora 32.

Sobol ripped off a 12-yard run on the first play, but the Redskins soon faced 4thand-7 from the 17. From there, Ricky Del Favero hit Kameron Dransfeldt with a screen pass and Dransfeldt followed his wall of blockers into the end zone. The extra-point kick was wide, but Morris held a 6-0 lead with 9:47 to play in the first quarter.

“That was huge for us to get that big return and score right away,” Sobol said.

“It fired up our defense. We like going out there and protecting a lead.”

Metamora, usually known as a predominantly running team, completed a seven-yard pass on first down and, after gaining a first down on a running play, attempted a long pass on first down again.

This time, Morris’ Payton Voitik tracked it down and intercepted it at midfield. He returned it inside the 10, but there was an illegal block penalty during the return, giving the ball to Morris at its own 41.

Morris, which hosts the semifinal game next week against the winner of Saturday’s 7 p.m. Peoria/Washington game, used its potent ground game to drive down the field, aided by a Metamora pass interference penalty on the only aerial attempt of the drive. Sobol scored from two yards out with 3:51 to play, but the two-point pass attempt failed, leaving

36 MINOOKA VOLLEYBALL

Minooka falls to McAuley in 4A state final

By KAITLYN JASNICA

kjasnica@shawmedia.com NORMAL – In a back-and-forth match befitting a state final, Mother McAuley broke away in the middle of the third set and went on to claim the 4A championship late Saturday with a 25-19, 19-25, 25-19 victory over Minooka.

For details on the title match, visit www.theherald-news.com. A story following up on the title match will be published Monday.

Regardless of that outcome, 2016 is a memorable year for Minooka.

The Indians beat Normal Community, 26-24, 25-23, in the Normal Supersectional to make school history. They were the first girls volleyball team to reach the Final Four. After a 25-17, 2513 semifinal victory over Stevenson in the Friday night semifinals, Minooka earned the chance to play for a state title for the first time.

The girls have accomplished a myriad firsts this year and have a bright future ahead. Only one starter, senior setter Brooklyn Bachmann, will be graduating. Next season, all the remaining starters will be seniors.

What is special about the program, however, is that it has always been competitive. Minooka has had some strong teams with exceptional players who have gone on to do big things in college. None of those teams, however, has been able to accomplish what this one has.

There has to a good reason.

“From conditioning together in the summer to practicing at the end of the summer and all throughout this school year, we’ve been together all the time,” libero Taylor Baranski said. “It’s formed a really strong bond between every single one of us. We had practice every weekday and team dinners together every Monday. They’re more of a family to me than a team.

“We are in a really lucky position having a team of all understanding and supportive girls, and that’s really helped us succeed as a team. I’m blessed to be a part of this school and program and can’t wait to see where next year takes us.”

Every game, the girls focus on how the team will succeed. If a player struggles offensively, she focuses on passing and defense because that will better the team. If a middle doesn’t get set, she closes the block and makes sure she gets as many touches because that betters the team.

That “we and not me” mentality is hard to find. Many strong teams fall in the postseason because they start playing individually. The Indians have

The Minooka girls hold up their plaque after winning the Class 4A Romeoville Sectional championship, one of the steps along the trail to Saturday night’s state championship match against Mother McAuley. done the opposite. In games when they trail, they come back because they focus on playing as a unit and playing for each other.

“Coach Emily Soto and I believe what makes this team different than any other Minooka team is that these girls have a love for each other on the court more than themselves,” coach Carrie Prosek said. “They realize the importance of having each other’s back and bettering the ball for the next person. They do not stress on who is the stat leader or who is getting the press, they focus on having everyone’s back at the beginning and end of each day.

“And, they believe on going beyond their limits and they understand that is what has to be done [in the championship match]. They have become comfortable in uncomfortable situations.

“And, this game is so special to their

families, community, Indian Nation, friends, school and remembering this game has so much pride riding on it for Mr. Smith [Mark, a teacher and coach at Minooka who passed away a few days ago]. These girls play for each other and something bigger than us.

Our support around us has pushed them.”

Not only do the players support each other, the entire Minooka community has backed the girls.

After years where the program was good but fell before state, the team is finally able to bring back something huge to the people who have been supporting them for years.

“Knowing that every person in the community is rooting for you gives you so much motivation to bring back the big title,” outside hitter Rocky Perinar said. “No matter what the outcome

It’s the best feeling to bring a win for everyone in the community knowing that you left everything onto the court.

“I want to thank the town, people of the school district and parents for all their support this season and believing in us throughout this crazy ride. But most of all, my teammates for the most memorable season that I will never forget.”

PLAINFIELD NORTH 30, ROCKFORD AUBURN 7

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, November 13, 2016

PLAINFIELD – Crunch time had arrived.

Exactly the moment the Plainfield North defense relishes.

After two crucial mistake on North’s part, Rockford Auburn scored midway through the third quarter of Saturday’s Class 7A quarterfinal football matchup to pull within 17-7.

“It was getting a little dicey right there,” North coach Tim Kane admitted.

Not to worry, however. Led by outstanding inside linebackers JJ Frey and Will Stoll, the Tigers’ defense forced four consecutive threeand-outs, their offense put up two more scores and they rolled to a 30-7 victory that vaults them into next week’s semifinal at Fenwick, which beat Algonquin Jacobs, 28-21.

“We weren’t playing that well in the third quarter, and credit them [Auburn] for that,” Kane said. “But then our defense got a couple of good holds. Stopping them on the next drive after they scored, that was maybe the big series of the game.”

“Our goal every week is to shut the team out,” North defensive end Tim Donnahue said. “After they scored in the third quarter, it was big that we stopped them on the next drive and got back in control.”

The Tigers (10-2) were going against an oversized line on both sides of the ball. The Knights (10-2) averaged 280 in the starting offensive line, with 6-foot-6, 330-pound Illinois commit Vederian Lowe at right tackle, and similar beef in the interior of the defensive front.

“Their size was a concern, but we saw on film that once we scraped across them, they couldn’t hold their blocks very well,” Frey said. “We took advantage of that.”

“They had big guys up front, and we did play well against them,” Stoll said. “Our coaches told us that we have more heart. Once we started hitting them, we found out that we were tougher.”

North has allowed 34 points total in its last seven games. Against Auburn, the Tigers yielded a net of 40 yards rushing. The Knights’ Daqwuan Bell, a concern coming in, was limited to 21 yards on 13 carries.

Dual-threat quarterback Nathan Jarrett, under pressure all afternoon, completed 8 of 23 passes for 83 yards and rushed for a net of 3 yards in 14

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

The Tigers pose with their trophy after the Class 7A quarterfinals on Saturday at Plainfield North High School. The Tigers defeated the Knights, 30-7. attempts.

“That No. 4 [Bell] is really a good player, and we bottled him up pretty well,” Kane said.

Stoll, Frey, Ari Ekowa, Tim Donnahue, Shane McGrail, Rob Ostapkowicz, DJ Donofrio, Zach Nadle, Leo Santos and Shawn Bruns were among the Tigers’ defenders who had a hand in multiple negative and near-negative plays for the Auburn offense. Frey recovered a fumble.

“I have to credit our defensive linemen,” Frey said. “We rotate different guys into the defensive line, so they go hard and we can give offenses different looks.

“When they started to get back in it, Stoll and I got our defense fired up. It was put-up time.”

On the other side of the ball, where North has so many weapons, a new one was unveiled Saturday. In addition to completing 11 of 21 passes for 137 yards, quarterback Brady Miller rushed seven times for 65 yards – often at key moments.

“I hadn’t run that much previously, but I took advantage when I had the opportunities,” said Miller, who was intercepted once in the red zone.

“Brady made some huge rushes, especially on third and fourth downs,” Kane said. “They weren’t planned, but they gave him some room, and he took it.”

The Tigers opened the scoring on the Dillon McCarthy drive. He ran 10 yards from the wildcat formation on a third-and-4, caught a 32-yard pass from Miller, ran 13 yards to set up a first-and-goal at the 6 and went the final 6 yards on a play where he was stopped at the 2 but instead of going down, moved the pile into the end zone. Connor Peplow’s kick made it 7-0 with 5:04 left in the first quarter.

Early in the second quarter, after Miller scrambled 18 yards to the Auburn 27, he tossed a 27-yard touchdown pass down the left sideline to Ryan Krzystofiak, who made a remarkable catch while managing to get his foot down inbounds for 14-0

lead with 9:44 left before halftime.

Peplow, who caught four passes for 54 yards and ran a jet sweep for 18 more, kicked a 23-yard field goal with 1:00 remaining before the break. It was anything but routine, however. He plant foot slipped as holder Kevin Block was putting the ball down, yet he somehow kicked a line drive just high enough and just straight enough to make it 17-0.

With the North offense back in control in the second half, the Tigers scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns on short runs by Tyler Hoosman. One ended a seven-play, 36-yard drive and the other a seven-play, 44yard march.

Hoosman rushed for 110 yards in 25 carries and McCarthy chipped in 60 in 11 attempts. The Tigers finished with 390 total yards, including 253 rushing, and 22 first downs.

“Overall, I think we played great,” Miller said. “Like always, our defense keeps us going. It’s hard to score on our defense.”

38 IC CATHOLIC PREP 48, WILMINGTON 14

IC Catholic Prep rolls past Wilmington

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Jeff Reents knew all too well that his Wilmington football team would have its hands full trying to contain explosive IC Catholic Prep in Saturday’s Class 3A quarterfinals.

So the last thing that the veteran Wildcat coach wanted to see was the Knights grabbing a 13-0 lead after running just three plays from scrimmage.

While Wilmington responded to that early onslaught to close to within 13-7, ICCP rattled off the final 18 points of the first half and the first 10 of the second half to capture a 48-14 victory at Lewis Stadium that advanced it to the semifinals for the second year in a row.

The one-two punch of quarterback Luke Ricobene and running back Jordan Rowell was too much for the Wildcats (111) to overcome. As a result, the Knights (12-0) advance to next Saturday’s semifinals against Monticello, who won, 48-17, over Farmington.

“They’re special on offense,” Reents said. “I knew coming into the game that we’d be dealing with a lot of weapons, and then at the beginning of the game we go behind right away.

I was real proud of our kids for the way that they fought back.

Our whole team showed no quit and our offense had a little success, which against a team like that, is a credit to our kids.

“That’s good 3A football right there, that’s one of the best teams that I’ve ever gone against. It was tough to get going and then we put ourselves behind the eight ball a couple of times. I thought that we had a nice run and held them down for a while and then they had the big pass play. I think our biggest thing is the IC respects us. We talked about 3A North, it’s tough. We beat 10-0 Byron last week and come up here and these guys are a whole other animal.”

Ricobene (8 for 197 rushing) got the ball rolling right away for ICCP when he went 66 yards on the game’s opening play to give his team a quick 7-0 lead.

After the Knights got the ball back, they needed just two plays to score again with Rowell (14

for 213 rushing) making it 13-0 on a 70-yard run.

Wilmington, which finished with 333 rushing yards, hung tough, however. It used eight plays to cover 71 yards to close to within 13-7 with 4:45 left in the opening quarter. Dustin Kelly (20 for 127 rushing) covered the final 35 yards of that drive and Alex Hatten added the PAT. After the hosts went up 16-7 on a 39-yard field goal by Sam Buffo with 3:02 left in the first quarter, things stayed close until the latter part of the second period.

The Wildcats looked like they might keep the Knights deep in their own territory for a second-straight possession but Ricobene found Matt Sutton for an 81-yard scoring pass on a third and 22 play to make it 23-7 with 4:55 left in the half. Just 1:54 later, Ricobene tossed a 42-yard touchdown strike to Khali Saunders to boost the score to 31-7 at the break.

“We just beat a good Wilmington team that’s pretty impressive,” Ricobene said.

“That’s good motivation and momentum for next week and the semifinals. We’re an explosive offense and teams know that. We score quick and often, and basically that’s what our game plan is.

“Our offensive coordinator had a good game plan and our line, Jordan and everyone else just executed and we played pretty well. Our defense is awesome and our linebackers and D-line did a great job of clogging it up against a great running back.”

ICCP, which finished with 619 yards of offense, including 482 on the ground, also scored on its initial play of the final half when Rowell exploded 86 yards up the middle with 8:32 left in the third. After recovering the ensuing kickoff, the Knights made it 41-7 just 1:22 later when Buffo connected on a 29-yard field goal.

The two squads exchanged touchdowns to complete the scoring with 4:34 remaining in the third quarter. A 59-yard run by Owen Weaver (22 for 193 rushing) set up a nine-yard touchdown run by Kelly and the Knights responded with a 42yard run by Ricobene to set up a 1-yard score by Rowell.

BURBANK – Sniffles and outright tears dominated the emotions of the Lemont football players in the minutes after the previously undefeated Indians’ 27-20 loss to underdog St. Laurence on Saturday night.

A perfect season was not only no longer perfect, it was over.

The Vikings advanced to the Class 6A semifinals by building a 17-point lead and hanging on, and by throttling an Indians’ running game that had ruled in their 11 straight victories this season. Lemont gained only 63 yards on the ground.

Conversely, St. Laurence scatback Fayezon Smart, the school’s all-time leading rusher, enhanced his stats with a 156-yard outing on 36 carries, one of them an 11-yard touchdown.

“They pursued hard and fast, but I went to the outside and I ran up the field,” Smart said. “That’s it.”

Time and again, it was. Smart’s score made it 19-10 at 2:22 into the third quarter, four snaps after Lemont quarterback Spencer Nagel was stripped of the ball by defender Sean Lange, who fell on the ball. It was the game’s only turnover.

The Vikings (9-3) scored again on their next drive, with Romello Washington hitting Levy Hamer on a 19yard scoring strike. That gave St. Laurence a 27-10 lead, and control.

“They made plays,” Lemont coach Bret Kooi said. “We had some chances early to make some plays and answer early on both sides of the ball, but they’re a really good team. Well coached, very similar to us – scrappy kids.

“Their D-line did a nice job of taking away our run. That forced us to throw the ball. It took us a little while to get going there. Same thing defensively. It took a little while to hunker down and figure things out. Once we did, we made it a heck of a ball game, to the kids’ credit.”

A 10-play, 80-yard drive cut the gap to 27-17 on Jake Kirkman’s 10-yard rush around left end with 1:51 left in the third quarter. After a defensive stop by the Indians, Lemont trimmed the margin to 27-20 via Steven Fleming’s second field goal of the night, a 34-yarder with 8:32 to play.

But there the rally ended. Lemont (11-1) couldn’t keep drives going when faced with a pair of fourth-and-11 situations in the last five minutes. As a result, St. Laurence visits Sacred Heart-Griffin in next week’s semifinal. The Springfield powerhouse beat Rock Island, 56-13.

Nagel ended up 21 of 35 for 209 yards, decent enough numbers, but without the rushing game the Indians had enjoyed all season.

“They just didn’t give [the rush] to us easily, and we needed to pass more,” Nagel said. “That’s what we did, and obviously it wasn’t enough.

I’m happy with what we did this year.

I just wish it could have lasted a lot longer.”

Smart proved to be someone the Indians couldn’t control. He ran 19 times for 104 yards in the first half, including a 26-yard gambol on thirdand-2 that helped set up the Vikings’ first-half touchdown, a 34-yard pass from Washington to Hamer with 2:03 left in the half.

That earned St. Laurence a 13-3 lead, but the Indians answered with an eight-play, 80-yard drive that climaxed with Nagel’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Bret Bolin with 18.7 seconds left in the half.

The game opened with a trio of field goals, Fleming opening the scoring with a 37-yard boot, and St. Laurence’s Mauricio Garibay answering with 21- and 24-yard kicks for a 6-3 lead with 9:15 left in the second quarter. St. Laurence outgained Lemont overall, 346-272.

“We were sure hoping we’d have one more week to have a shot at it,” Kooi said. “They just played a little bit better than we did this week.”

40 MAINE SOUTH 34, LINCOLN-WAY EAST 31

Maine South edges Lincoln-Way East in thriller

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent FRANKFORT – When football games are built up all week as high-scoring, explosive and exciting, they rarely follow suit.

That was not the case Saturday night, however, as Lincoln-Way East played host to Maine South in a Class 8A quarterfinal.

Maine South’s Sean McNulty kicked a 20-yard field goal to give the Hawks a thrilling, last-minute 34-31 victory. That puts Maine South in the semifinals, where it will face Palatine.

Trailing 31-24 with 5:56 remaining, East (9-3) put together an 80-yard drive that consumed four minutes and had two fourth-down conversions to keep the drive alive.

With 1:56 left in the game, Nigel Muhammad scored his fourth touchdown of the night on a 1-yard run, then Dominic Dzioban tied it at 31-31 with the critical extra point.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Hawks (9-3) took over on their 16-yard line with 1:51 to go. They methodically drove down the field, but the big play of the drive was the conversion of a fourth-and-8 with 43 seconds remaining. Hawks quarterback Nick Leongas hit 6-foot-6 receiver Luke Hinkamp with a 25-yard strike to set up the dramatic ending.

“It was an unbelievable catch by Hinkamp,” East coach Rob Zvonar said. “Their quarterback is a tremendous athlete and I’m even surprised he got that pass off.

“Tonight, they [Hawks] made just one more play than we did. I’m so proud of all my seniors and they are all winners. Back in January everyone came together as a team when [Lincoln-Way] North closed, and you can see on this field right now that they have also turned into great friends. We didn’t have that storybook ending, but it was still a great season for us.”

Leongas ended up 21 of 36 for 325 through the air with two touchdown passes. He also had 50 yards rushing on 11 carries. Hinkamp had five receptions for 117 yards. Matt Holbrook chipped in seven receptions for 65 yards.

Maine South’s Fotis Kokosioulis, a junior, rushed for 128 yards on 18 carries and two touchdowns and added five receptions for 113 yards and another touchdown.

With 32 seconds remaining in the first half, Muhammand scored on a 2-yard run to give East a 17-14 lead. It was the only lead the Griffins had in

For the Griffins, Muhammad totaled 58 yards on 24 carries and the four touchdowns. Ryan Scianna carried the ball 13 times for 54 yards and Brendan Morrissey carried five times for 32 yards.

Quarterback Jake Arthur was 7 for 18 for 157 yards and one interception. Max Shafer was 2 for 5 for 48 yards when he got his shot at quarterback.

Kenny Anderson lead the Griffins with 98 yards on three receptions and Jeremy Nelson had 79 yards on two catches.

JOLIET – When a team loses only two players and 14 percent of its scoring from the year before, it’s a safe bet that they’re headed for good season.

And when that squad had been ranked high in the nation during most of 2015-16, it makes sense to expect more of the same in the current campaign.

But while those descriptions apply for the University of St. Francis women’s basketball team, coach Samantha Quigley Smith realizes all too well that they don’t guarantee a repeat of last year’s 28-5 season, where the program made a trip to the NAIA Tournament.

The Fighting Saints coach hopes that her players realize that after suffering big setbacks in exhibition contests with DePaul and Florida State and a game that was closer than the final indicated in Friday’s 81-57 win over Ave Maria in their home opener at the Sullivan Center.

“We have a lot of experience and that’s something that is going to be pretty special, especially toward the middle and the end of the year,” Smith said. “But we have to constantly get better and that’s something that our girls are slowly learning. With the few exhibition games that we had, we’re understanding that maybe we’re not as good as we think we are. So we really have to work every day in practice to become better.

“Ave Maria never laid down and the score wasn’t the story of the game. We can’t take possessions or spans of the game off and it’s really important in practice every day to show that we’re not going to do that when games come. This is a group of girls that really like to be around each other so they have a lot of fun when they’re playing. As a coach, that’s fun to see because you don’t have to beg them to play harder or get along. They’re like sisters.”

No. 5 USF (2-0) returns nine of its top-10 scorers from a year ago, with third-leading scorer Alexis Brown having completed her career. Four others from the top-six were in Friday’s starting lineup – Charnelle Reed (No. 1 scorer), Kamari Jor-

dan (No. 2), Angelica Osusky (No. 5) and Christina Ekhomu (No. 6).

Last year’s fourth-scorer, Jordan Giddings, is injured.

Leading the Saints against the Gyrenes (1-2) were Reed (19 points, 14 rebounds), Ekhomu (19 points, seven rebounds, six assists), Jordan (16 points) and Osusky (eight points).

“Coach told us in the beginning of the season that with this No. 5 ranking in the nation that now we have a target on our back,” Reed said. “Her motto is ‘Embrace the target.’ We understand that we just have to come out and do what we’re expected to do. So as long as we go out there and handle business and play selflessly, everything will take care of itself.

“It feels great to know that we have the same type of talent as last year and have some freshmen who fit right in. We know how it feels to go nationals and the only people who can beat us right now are ourselves. Coach Sam thrives on defense so we’ve got to thrive on defense; that’s where our energy comes from. The closer that you are to your teammates, the more they’re willing to do for you. It brings out a lot in us and we feed off of each other.”

The Saints, who won their opener, 81-59 at Bethel on Nov. 1, fell behind Ave Maria, 14-13, in the final minute of the first quarter but then went on a 23-11 run to close out the opening half with a 36-25 lead.

“I like our chemistry and how everybody loves being around each other,” Ekhomu said. “We take pride in getting assists and making the extra pass. So we’re actually a real team since we help each other out and we like when everyone is doing well. We push each other in practice and work real hard and it’s real competitive, and that’s what makes us good.

“We appreciate the ranking, but we still want to get out there and work hard to prove that we deserve it. I like that we’re very selfless and love each other. Also the chemistry of having almost the same group as last year and the people that we added fit right in. We take it seriously, but at the end of the day, it’s still a game, and we’re having fun with our friends.”

What to watch for: Bears at Tampa Bay Buccaneers HOW TO WATCH/LISTEN Noon kickoff on Fox (Dan Hellie, David Diehl, Holly Sonders) and WBBM Radio AM-780 AND 105.9-FM (Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, Zach Zaidman) KEY MATCHUP TO WATCH Bears interior offensive line vs. Buccaneers DT Gerald McCoy: The Bucs’ game-wrecker on defense is McCoy, who often will line up across the right guard, setting up great battles with Pro Bowler Kyle Long, who returns this week from a triceps injury. McCoy also could slide to the other side and take on Josh Sitton, who returns from an ankle injury. McCoy will demand double-teams, too, involving rookie center

Cody Whitehair. He will stunt with defensive tackle Akeem Spence to work to get into the Bears’ backfield. McCoy has four sacks this season and six QB hits. He had a sack of Jay Cutler last season, and Cutler said this week he has to know where the star three-technique is every play. “He’s off the charts as far as quickness, pass-rush ability,” Bears Pernell offensive coordinator McPhee Dowell Loggains said of McCoy. Against a middling pass defense, all Cutler should need is time to be able to make big plays, which means Long, Whitehair and Sitton have to do their best to keep McCoy

at bay, winning at the point of attack and not getting beat off the snap. It’s a strengthvs.-strength matchup in the trenches that old-school football fans will love.

X-FACTOR OLB Pernell McPhee: With a bye week and 13 days between games, the Bears’ best defender should be in great shape to continue his ascent. We saw flashes against Minnesota when McPhee had four QB hits, and he notched a sack and two QB hits against Tampa last season. McPhee has the strength to set the edge against the run and can use that power to get after QB Jameis Winston. The Bucs’ top weapon on offense is WR Mike Evans, and it’ll help the secondary

greatly if McPhee finds a home in Tampa Bay’s backfield to prevent any big plays.

McPhee’s ability to attract attention up front, too, will open rushing lanes for OLBs Leonard Floyd and Willie Young on the other side, or defensive lineman Akiem Hicks.

STAT TO KEEP IN MIND Winston has only one interception in his past four games while throwing nine touchdowns in that span. His passer rating since Week 5 is 102.5.

THE TAKEAWAY Army: The Black Knights have only

two winning seasons since the mid1990s – 10-2 in 1996 and 7-6 in 2010.

After beginning this year with three straight wins, Army is in jeopardy of falling short of a winning season again. The Black Knights have games left against Morgan State and Navy, which beat Notre Dame last week.

Notre Dame: By improving to 4-6, the Irish stayed in the running for bowl eligibility. They have won 15 straight against Army.

gan State. They have met once before, with Army winning, 28-12, in 2013.

Notre Dame: The Irish host Virginia Tech on Saturday in the first-ever meeting between the schools.

BIG TEN ROUNDUP

No. 7 Badgers roll over Illini Northwestern scores 31 2nd-half

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. – Corey Clement ran for 123 yards and three touchdowns and No. 7 Wisconsin intercepted Illinois quarterback Jeff George Jr. four times in rolling to a 48-3 win on Saturday.

Dare Ogunbowale added 103 yards on seven carries for the Badgers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP), who rushed for a season-high 363 yards as a team.

Wisconsin led by 18 after the first quarter with two scores from Clement, and 31-3 at the half on a homecoming weekend at Camp Randall Stadium.

George had an awful day a week after helping Illinois rally to beat Michigan State. George was 5 of 16 for 79 yards in the first half against Wisconsin before getting pulled for former starter Wes Lunt.

That didn’t work either. Illinois (3-7, 2-5) mustered just 60 yards and three first downs in the second half.

Safety Leo Musso had two interceptions for the Badgers.

a game coming into Saturday got overwhelmed on the ground. Tackling was poor, allowing the Badgers’ backs to break free for extra yards. On offense, the deep passing game needs work.

George threw two interceptions in the first quarter alone and tended to miss high on long throws down the field.

Illinois managed a few big rushing plays in the first half against the Big Ten’s best run defense. Kendrick Foster finished with 75 yards on 15 carries.

Wisconsin: A laser-like focus on the next game has been a strength for coach Paul Chryst’s team through a season in which expectations have grown each week. The Badgers showed no letup against Illinois. Leading 28-3 in the second quarter, Chryst kept players on their toes by calling for a successful fake punt on fourth-and-1 from the Wisconsin 41.

Garret Dooley took the direct snap for a five-yard run and a first down.

Tested by a rigorous schedule that included five Top 10 opponents, Wisconsin beat Illinois like it was a nonconference pushover.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – After losing back-to-back home games to Western Michigan and to Illinois State to begin the 2016 season, Northwestern knew it would be pressed to qualify for a bowl game.

But including Saturday’s 45-17 victory at Purdue, the Wildcats (5-5, 4-3 Big Ten) are within one victory of bowl eligibility, having carved their path by posting a 3-1 record in conference road games.

Michigan State 49, Rutgers 0:

At East Lansing, Mich., it had been nearly two months since Michigan State won a game, so coach Mark Dantonio and the Spartans were happy to celebrate this victory.

Even if this was merely a matchup to see who could climb out of last place.

Tyler O’Connor threw three touchdown passes in the first half, and Michigan State snapped its seven-game losing streak with a 49-0 rout of Rutgers on Saturday in what was a matchup of the last

two teams in the Big Ten without a conference win.

No. 12 Penn State 45, Indiana 31: At Bloomington, Ind., Saquon Barkley ran for two go-ahead touchdowns in the fourth quarter, helping Penn State beat Indiana.

Barkley was held to 20 yards on 20 carries though the first three quarters. But the Big Ten’s top rusher stepped up in the final period, and the Nittany Lions (8-2, 6-1, No. 10 CFP) keep pace with No. 2 Michigan in the East Division with their sixth consecutive victory.

No. 6 Ohio State 62, Maryland 3: At College Park, Md., Ohio State seems to be getting into a rut – the good kind that can lead to championships.

J.T. Barrett accounted for four touchdowns, Curtis Samuel scored three TDs and the sixth-ranked Buckeyes enjoyed another 62-3 rout – this time, against Maryland on Saturday.

After beating then-No. 10 Nebraska by the identical score last week, Ohio State poured it on against Maryland, going up 21-3 after the first quarter and 45-3 at halftime.

BULLS 106, WIZARDS 95

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Jimmy Butler scored 37 points, and the Bulls beat the short-handed Washington Wizards, 106-95, on Saturday night.

Butler did all he could to carry the Bulls on a night when the Wizards were missing star guards John Wall and Bradley Beal.

Butler finished two points shy of his season high. He hit all 14 free throws, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out a season-high nine assists.

Nikola Mirotic added 17 points.

Dwyane Wade scored 14. Taj Gibson chipped in with 13 points. The Bulls won back-to-back games for the first time since a 3-0 start, but forward Doug McDermott exited with a concussion early in the fourth quarter.

Markieff Morris had a season-high 24 points after scoring 20 the previous night. Marcin Gortat added 18 points and 14 rebounds.

Sheldon McClellan scored 15 with Beal missing his second straight game because of a sore right hamstring. Tomas Satoransky chipped in with 12 points and nine assists filling in at point guard with Wall sitting out, and the Wizards fell to 0-4 on the road.

Butler got off to a scorching start with 21 points in the first half and kept it going with 11 more in the third to help the Bulls turn a 56-53 deficit into an 81-70 lead.

Wade gave the Bulls a 68-66 lead when he hit a fadeaway shot with just under five minutes remaining,

and Butler went to work after that.

He scored on a runner after Gibson blocked Morris’ 20-footer. And with Chicago leading 70-68 after Burke banked in a jumper, Butler scored eight in an 11-2 run to close the quarter.

Along the way, Wizards coach Scott Brooks jumped off the bench and got called for a technical in the closing minute of the quarter when Jason Smith fouled a dunking Gibson. McDermott made the technical free throw, but he left the game after he crashed to the court early in the fourth.

He was going for a layup when a rotating Morris nailed him in the head, quieting the crowd. McDermott walked off the court and is headed back into the concussion protocol after missing a game 10 days earlier.

Morris got called for a flagrant foul 1, and Mirotic hit two free throws.

Paul Lauridsen will build on Stepping Stones’ approach to substance abuse treatment

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – On Dec. 1, Stepping Stones Treatment Center in Joliet will step in a new direction, leadership-wise.

Executive Director Pete McLenighan will step down after 33 years. Clinical Director Paul Lauridsen, who came to Stepping Stones in 1989, will step up as executive director of the nonprofit treatment center, which celebrated 45 years this year.

McLenighan has no immediate plans for his future except to enjoy retirement.

Lauridsen plans to build on Stepping Stones’ integrative manner of providing treatment for substance use disorder.

It’s treatment that’s sorely needed.

Last year, Stepping Stones treated 701 people, McLenighan said. Two hundred are on a waiting list, with 120 of them waiting for residential treatment, he added. Furthermore, Stepping Stones continues to follow up with its clients. The era of “28 days and done” is gone.

“Our ultimate goal is abstinence, and even that is being modified,” McLenighan said. “If someone is being maintained on a medication – typically through a doctor’s supervision – and is functioning well and living a stable life, productive life, that’s ultimately what we’re trying to help people achieve.”

McLenighan’s career began in 1976 at Silver Cross Hospital, then he located in Joliet.

The hospital had just opened a crisis intervention and medical detox unit. McLenighan worked there from 1976 to 1979, first as an orderly, then a nurse’s aid, and finally as a counselor.

“It was very progressive at the time,” McLenighan said.

“Just prior to that, public intoxication was typically treated as a criminal offense, and people were taken to jail. But

there was a nationwide movement to encourage hospitals to create a center where people could go if they were publicly inebriated and be treated, so Silver Cross opened that unit.”

Before McLenighan became Stepping Stones’ executive director in 1983, he worked for South Suburban Counselors for four years as director of its detoxification program, McLenighan said.

By contrast, Lauridsen had previously worked with people with developmental disabilities and mental illness at Texas’ state institution. He then spent five years at the San Antonio Association for the Blind.

From there, Lauridsen moved to Austin and worked in construction. Lauridsen said he and his wife moved back to the Joliet area when they had their first child.

“I saw the halfway house was looking for a clinical director, and I interviewed with Pete,” Lauridsen said.

In McLenighan’s and Lauridsen’s early days, typical clients were alcoholics in their 30s and older. Eventually they saw addictions to other drugs – marijuana, cocaine and opioids – as well as use of multiple drugs.

But at Stepping Stones, clients were viewed as they really were – people who had “a lot of potential and a lot of things going for them,” Lauridsen said.

“It was exciting to see how significant an impact you could have on people, really helping them turn their lives around and make some significant changes,” Lauridsen said.

“That was enlightening to me at the time.”

In addition to treating its clients, Stepping Stones has educated the community about the facts of addiction.

“It’s not a moral failure,” McLenighan said, “but a multifaceted disease largely caused by a genetic predisposition and environmentally influenced.”

Paul Lauridsen (left) and Pete McClenighan are seen Friday in Joliet. On Dec. 1, Executive Director McLenighan will step down after 33 years. Clinical Director Lauridsen, who came to Stepping Stones in 1989, will become executive director of the nonprofit treatment center, which celebrated 45 years this year.

An abbreviated history of Stepping Stones Inc. • 1971 – The Joliet Halfway House Inc. was incorporated, and the home at 609 Second Ave. in Joliet was purchased. The purpose was to provide a men’s halfway house for recovering alcoholics.

• 1977 – Sheltering Arms Inc. was incorporated to provide a halfway house for recovering alcoholic women.

• 1978 – Sheltering Arms purchased the property at 501/503 N. Broadway St. in Joliet.

• 1979 – The Joliet Halfway House began developing a short-term residential rehabilitation program for both men and women. This was located at 501 N. Broadway St. and the adjacent home at 205 Bridge St. in Joliet.

• 1980 – Sheltering Arms began to accept residents into treatment.

• 1981 – The Tri-County Rehabilitation Center, under the

Joliet Halfway House, began to accept people into its short-term residential rehabilitation program.

Initially, men were housed at 609 Second Ave. and women were housed at 501 N. Broadway St. • 1982 – An intensive outpatient program was added for men and women at 501 N. Broadway St. All programs had been redesigned to effectively treat a population that was “poly-drug” dependent rather than “alcoholic.”

• 1983 – Licensure was obtained for 205 Bridge St., and short-term residential rehabilitation clients began to reside at the location.

• 1991 – The property at 1621 Theodore St. in Joliet was purchased in April. The Joliet Halfway House Inc. and Sheltering Arms Inc. were consolidated to form Stepping Stones Inc. in September.

• 1992 – All services were relo-

cated in late fall to the Treatment Center at 1621 Theodore St. Selected programs were accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities in June, before relocation.

• 1997 – The properties at 501 N. Broadway St. and 205 Bridge St. were licensed as recovery homes for men and women, respectively. These were among the first licensed recovery homes in Illinois.

• 2007 – The conference center at 1620 Plainfield Road in Crest Hill was purchased, and renovations began.

• 2008 – The conference center was open for various meeting functions and received licensure approval in September. Outpatient and intensive outpatient services began to be provided at this location in addition to 1621 Theodore St.

Making a significant impact

14 resident veterans honored at Sunny Hill The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Fourteen veterans whose service spans World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars were honored at Sunny Hill Nursing Home of Will County on Nov. 3.

The 13 men and one woman served in the Air Force, Army, Army Reserve, Coast Guard, Marines, National Guard and Navy.

Although veterans’ devotion to their country are recognized on Veterans Day and Memorial Day, they should be thanked every day for their service, Will County Executive Larry Walsh told the group gathered at the county-owned nursing home.

Walsh spoke in the service that also featured residents and Joliet American Legion Post 1080 presenting and retiring the colors. In addition, the Legion Auxiliary presented each of the veterans with a cap at the ceremony’s end.

John O’Keefe, who served in the Army reserve, was helped to stand from his wheelchair to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Tammy Sangmeister, Social Services Director, and George “Jack” Otis, who served in the Army in World War II, performed the Missing Man Table ceremony.

The residents were presented certificates by Roger Bentley, one of five

The HERALD–NEWS BOLINGBROOK – Air Force Colonel Brian E. Hastings is the recipient of the inaugural Bolingbrook High School Alumni Association Distinguished Alumnus Award.

Hastings, who graduated from BHS in 1986, received the award from Alumni Association Co-Chair (and former teammate) Neal Hermanson (BHS 1987) before the start of Friday night’s Homecoming football game.

An excellent student-athlete during his four years at BHS, the former fighter pilot is a distinguished graduate in applied physics from the United States

Air Force Academy. He also holds a master’s degree in aeronautical sciences.

Hastings currently heads up the Air Command and Staff College, which is the Air Force’s premier academic institute for training airpower leaders for America and its international allies.

President Barack Obama nominated him for promotion to the rank of brigadier general. The nomination is awaiting Senate confirmation.

As part of the pregame ceremonies honoring him, Hastings also handled the varsity coin flip between the Raiders and Thornwood.

The family of Estela Rodriguez would like to thank everyone for their prayers, love & support during this difficult time. Thank you to the pallbearers. A special thank you to her caregivers that were there for her. They showed her love, respect & they cared for her as if she was their own family.

It was nice to see how many hearts she touched & how loved & special she was to many. She will be greatly missed.

Fiber, probiotics relieve IBS Dear Dr. K: I have irritable bowel syndrome with alternating constipation and diarrhea.

Will eating more fiber help? What about probiotics or other non-medical treatments?

Dear Reader: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common intestinal disorder with many unpleasant symptoms. Many people with IBS go back and forth between diarrhea and constipation, with pain and bloating in between. Others always have diarrhea or constipation.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for IBS. However, there are a number of things you can do to improve your symptoms.

Adding fiber to your diet can help relieve constipation. Fiber increases the stool’s bulk and speeds its movement through the gastrointestinal tract. It also may ease abdominal pain, and even improve diarrhea.

You can increase the fiber in your diet by eating whole grains, bran cereals and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. You also can try a fiber supplement containing psyllium or methylcellulose.

When introducing fiber to your diet, do so gradually. Too much, too fast can cause excessive gas, cramping and bloating.

Drink lots of water or other liquids. And be aware that for some people, a high-fiber diet may increase bloating or gas. I speak from both professional and personal experience.

You also asked about probiotics. That means we need to talk about bacteria. The world, including our bodies, is filled with bacteria. Some are good for us, some bad, some neutral. Probiotics are living bacteria we swallow in order to improve our health.

They come in the form of capsules, yogurts and even some fruit juices.

Probiotics generally are considered safe, but there’s not yet enough evidence to say they effectively treat IBS. Some of my pa-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tients swear by them; others have not had a positive result. No one has had any bad reactions. For some people with IBS, certain foods can trigger symptoms. In particular, certain sugarlike molecules, known as FODMAPs, can be difficult to digest. FODMAPs are found in a wide variety of foods including milk, some fruits and vegetables, wheat, rye, high-fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners. A low-FODMAP diet may tame IBS symptoms.

IBS symptoms also are often triggered by emotional stress. The following stress-management techniques may help: • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help reframe negative thoughts into more positive, productive ways of thinking. This can help to improve symptoms and quality of life.

• Relaxation response training and meditation are techniques that can help reduce nervous system activity (the intestines are partly controlled by the nervous system) and relax muscles.

• Yoga seeks to bring body and mind into balance. It can serve as a form of self-relaxation.

• Biofeedback is a mind-body technique.

Participants use a biofeedback machine to see and learn to control their body’s response to pain. Fiber and probiotics definitely help many people with IBS. Fortunately, they are not the only treatments. And you’ll notice I didn’t even mention conventional medicines, since more “natural” approaches often do the trick.

Woman plans for Christmas without mom and daughter Dear Abby: My just-married daughter has informed me we no longer will celebrate Christmas together because her husband spends it with his mother and wants to continue doing it that way.

When she saw my expression, she also told me not to look so hurt by it, because if her daughter (from a previous marriage) sees me upset, then she might get upset she’s not invited to go to California when my daughter, son-in-law and their daughter do. My granddaughter isn’t invited because she isn’t my son-in-law’s daughter.

Can you believe that? When I told my daughter that isn’t right and she’s putting her daughter in a bad spot and the girl will grow up with a lot of resentment, she told me not to worry about it and it isn’t going to happen.

Abby, what can I do? I don’t want to see my granddaughter hurt. Please answer soon. Christmas is coming. –

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Grandma Becky Dear Grandma Becky: I agree you

shouldn’t let your grandchild see how upset you are. Because geography prevents you and your son-in-law’s parents from celebrating together, expect to make plans without your daughter in the future. That she would allow one of her children to be excluded because the girl isn’t her husband’s child absolutely is disgraceful. Her in-laws must be terribly insensitive to encourage it.

Assuming your granddaughter lives close by, why don’t you have her stay with you while her mother is away? The greatest gift is the gift of self, and that way, neither of you will be alone.

NEIGHBOR

Dear Abby: My parents have been divorced for 17 years, but my father appears to have trouble letting go. Some examples: Although he never wore a wedding ring, he does wear a widower’s band, and he tells people he “lost” his wife. Recently, he talked to my brother about getting a tattoo of my mother’s name. Suffice it to say, my brother told him it was inappropriate.

My policy has been to let Dad cope however he likes. I live 400 miles away and my brother still lives physically close to him. I understand divorce can be traumatic, having lived through theirs as a child, as well as my own. Is there any way I can help Dad cope with this?

He is having health problems now. I think they are forcing him to confront his own death, but this has been going on for more than a decade. Lately, I find myself rolling my eyes and laughing it off. But privately, I worry this could

Volunteer.

be a sign of something worse because it appears to be escalating. Are there resources for coping with divorce? He won’t consider therapy – I’ve tried. –

Worried Daughter In New Jersey Dear Worried Daughter: While I have

heard of widowed individuals switching their wedding band to the right hand, the concept of a “widower’s band” is new to me. Your father may be ashamed he is divorced. I agree with you and your brother that the idea of him tattooing your mother’s name on his body would have been inappropriate. I do think you should discuss your concerns about your dad’s mental health with your brother because you say his peculiarities seem to be increasing, and he may need a physical and neurological evaluation.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – If you take a closer look at your lifestyle, you’ll come up with a plan that will help you achieve better health, which will ensure greater success and happiness as the year progresses.

An unexpected offer is best looked at carefully.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – If you mix business with pleasure, you will build strong relationships with people who can help you get ahead. Listen attentively to some interesting ideas being lobbed at you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Look for innovative, creative ways to make personal improvements. Get the information you require to make

a wise decision that will affect your health and finances.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Focus on home, family and whatever will make you happy. Follow your heart and make a romantic move that will bring you closer to a special someone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Letting old habits rise to the surface isn’t the way to bring about positive change. Face any dilemma head-on and be the one to make a difference. Be true to yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Make the most of the time you have with the people you love. Enjoy doing things that help you expand your circle of friends. Be grateful for what you have.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Size up whatever

situation you face and look for the least offensive way to deal with what transpires. Staying calm and steady will pay off and prevent a problem from growing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Emotions will surface.

Do your best to remain active and intent on tying up loose ends. The less clutter in your life, the easier it will be to move forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Check out your financial situation and be reluctant to spend or invest in joint ventures. Focus on the personal gains and improvements you hope to make. Hard work will pay off.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – It’s a good day to plan a day trip or get-together. Updating your appearance or mindset will make you feel good

and encourage others to see you differently.

Get with the times mentally, physically and technologically.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – If something needs tending to, get it done and out of the way. You don’t want to miss out on more enjoyable pastimes because you neglected to take care of your responsibilities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Put more thought into your home, family and lifestyle. Open up your doors to those who share your ideas and plans. A romantic gesture is encouraged.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t allow other people to complicate your life. Stick to basics and make it clear what works for you and what doesn’t.

Simplicity and moderation will help you avoid financial stress.

Benjamin Franklin wrote, “A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.”

A slip of a card may cost you a contract, whether you are the declarer or a defender. It is important, of course, that when an opponent slips, you make him pay. Do not slide also and give him a chance to regain his footing.

In this deal, how should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the club 10?

That South hand, despite its 19 points, is close to a two-no-trump opening because it has seven aceking points (two for each ace and one for each king). But the weak doubleton club suggests taking the low road.

South starts with seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, two diamonds and one club (at trick one).

By far the best chance for two more winners is to play on diamonds. After taking the first trick with the club jack, South should cash the diamond ace. Here, when West plays low, declarer continues with the king. When everyone follows, declarer plays a third round, and he might well end up with an overtrick. This play has an a priori 92.4 percent chance of success. (If West plays the diamond nine or 10 on the first round, South should next lead a low diamond toward dummy’s jack.)

At the table in a social game, South slipped: He crossed to dummy with a spade at trick two, then played a heart to his jack. West defended accurately by taking the trick and leading a second low club to keep communication with his partner. Now the contract was over.
